About that Bloody Husband, Part 1

There are some good arguments in favor of it being Moses. For one thing, he is the one male who seems to be of accountable age, so it would make sense that the Lord would execute judgment on him rather than on either of his sons. Also, the fact that Zipporah circumcised her son would make sense if Moses were somehow incapacitated during the ordeal. Still, the text never actually identifies this person as Moses, using the pronoun “him” instead.
